Fantasy Fridays: Fear of getting air

I’m sure everybody at some point has gone over a dirt jump or wooden bridge a little too fast and only to get that over excited feeling in the pit of their stomach. This is the fear of both wheels leaving the ground (air), which a lot of people can’t cant seem to get over. Down hill riders and free style motor cross riders are masters of suppressing that feeling or are simply addicted to it! This clip makes our fantasy list because Kelly McGarry has no fear of getting too much air as he back flips a 22 meter gap jump at the Redbull Rampage last year.

Getting air : The measure of space (air) between both wheels and the ground.
